The Round: The obverse of this beautiful Silver round bears the outline of the city of Jerusalem with an angelic dove in flight above. Listed on the reverse is the year 2013, along with the year 5773 written in Hebrew. Its weight of one troy ounce, .999 fine Silver and the Holy Land Mint logo are also listed on the reverse. These first year of issue rounds have a very low mintage of 15,000! Orders in multiples of 20 rounds are packaged in sealed tubes.

The Story: Jerusalem in Hebrew means "City of Peace” and the symbol of the dove has a storied history, beginning with the story of Noah’s Ark (Genesis 8:11) in which the dove returned with an olive branch, signaling the end of God's judgment and the beginning of a new covenant with man. Throughout medieval history, the dove was a renowned figure in both Christian and Hebrew manuscripts, even appearing in ancient Roman catacombs. The dove serves as a symbol of the Holy Spirit in Christian iconography and was told to have whispered the words of God into the ear of Muhammad. The dove has evolved to symbolize peace across the world, as it once did and will continue to be the inspiration for a brighter future.

Holy Land Mint first got on my radar when looking at fractional gold bars. Their gold bars always went for more than everybody else's, signifying to me that this must mean high quality. Imagine my surprise when I was 'window shopping' through the "Silver Rounds" section and noticed there was a sale on these. I immediately ordered 10. They came sealed in a APMEX tube with some length of round foam the width of the tube stuffed in so the coins wouldn't bang around. The tube was also stickered and sealed with tape. When I carefully sliced the tape on the tube seams and looked at the rounds I couldn't have been more pleased. There is truly a MIRROR finish on these rounds. Perfect details, no scratches, perfect rim, every coin centered. These are not from some shoddy mint. Holy Land Mint also makes Israeli legal tender so they are in the business to stay, not just pump out mediocre rounds. Ordered Tuesday night. in hand by Friday afternoon. thanks Apmex!

Our Customer Service team will be reaching out to you soon to see if there is anything we can provide you with to make sure your 100% satisfied with your purchase. Thanks!

The City of God is an amazing place... I have never been there so to me this was a way of celebrating Jerusalem in the only way I could... I wish I had had the funds to get a lot more so I could have put them in my grand kids Easter baskets... Maybe next year!

I didn't like the fact that the coins came in tubes with so much room that coins were rattling inside and there were many scratches..I have ordered less then 20 before, and the ones in sleeves had no scratches.
